Aureon wkaes up with a biting headache and few memories of the night before. As he nurses his hangover with a mug of oxen milk and some jerkey a large crash comes from the door. Well, to Aureon its the sound of the world splitting, but in reality it is just Karrick knocking on the door.

"Aureon! Get up! We've an expedition to discuss!" Karrick shouts from behind the door.

"Blasted child I'll be out in a minute!" Aureon shouts back.

A whisper can be heard from behind the door "Aureon's hungover, so we might as well go look around while we wait for the dear old veteran to put on his slippers." the voice sounds like Morads

Karrick and Morad return to the Black Axe Mercenary's guild to look at the notices once. more. One notice in particular catches the observant dwarf's eye. Morad reads:

"NOTICE: GUARDS, CREW, AND OTHERS WANTED IN OCCUPATION OF THE ABANDONED GOBLIN FORT TO THE NORTH WEST. A CREW IS REQUIRED TO REBUILD THE FORT. ARMED FORCES WANTED AS GUARDS. "

The two dwarves return to their inn to find a hungover Aureon and a studious Kalin downstairs discussing their standing. Aureon is in the middle of explaining that the East is largely uncharted.
